Using with JVC GC- XA1(bu) - Working for me after firmware update I am using this app with JVC GC- XA1(bu). Note that I first updated the firmware on my JVC to version 492. After setting up the WiFi connections via the window program and a USB cable this app (WiVideo version 1.31.1.31) is working great for me on my Samsung Note 2 via WiFi HotSpot. A few things to note: The orientation does not match the notification bar at the top of the phone. However, the orientation DOES rotate the image for me and matches the camera fine. Remote controls all work fine albeit a bit slow as would be expected via a WiFi app. I would give it 5 stars if the rotation worked with the notification bar but this is not a deal killer at all!!!!

Flakey Constant connection problems. Don't know if it's the camera or the app but no matter what hot spot or WiFi I use, it's the same issues. This app will make you want to throw something against the wall. Just use the pc version with a direct USB connection and save yourself the frustration. Two stars for at least having a decent looking layout. Just didn't work too well.

Won't connect to Galaxy Note 2. Great wee camera. Connects fine through Wifi access point in the house, but not when using tethering from phone. Which is a shame because that is one of the main features that tempted me to this cam :( hoping an update to this app will fix this... UPDATE: Now working. Not sure I did anything different other than fully charge both phone and camera. :) have given 3 stars now as more features on app are needed.

Works Got this working on my galaxy s4. Had to configure the camera on my computer first and then set my phone to a mobile hotspot. Got the live feed. I am able to change and set camera settings. Bad thing is you can not record and have a live feed. Which makes this totally Useless to me. Guess gopro I go.

Basic control only I sure wish you could do more with the camera than start/stop recording and zoom. It would be nice to have an interface that allows full control of camera settings for changing conditions. Need to be able to change resolution, white balance and enable time lapse remotely.

Note4 set up GC-XA1BU Not easy but I did get it you need a laptop use WiFi set up match the profile on your cell I set the cam with no password make sure your cell profile is saved to the camera put your cell on Hotspot and connect in the camera. .....good luck it took me a few times and I did up date the firmware

Ehh... I can take control of the camera and start a record, but then everything freezes on the WiVideo app. I can't get it to transfer videos from the camera to the tablet, and I have yet to see what happens with more than 1camera, that will be later in the week, sure hope I can at least start multiple cameras. Tablet is Acer a500 with Android 4.0.3. Just updating... I can only control a single camera at a time, and if you go back to select a second or third came it stops the first recording. Also it will only show two cameras in the list, if you have three of more cameras it will toggle between the others. Really wanted this to be able to tell all cameras to start the record at once. Changed my rating down to a single star because this is not that useful to me now. Wish the PC version worked better but it offers even less control.

Wrong orientation When holding samsung 7.0 tab in portrait orientation the picture appears in landscape mode. When holding tab landscape orientation the picture is in portrait mode with operation buttons. Sent email to developer, no response.

Barely Useful Good for aiming the camera and starting and stopping recording, but it glitches, freezes, or just loses the connection most of the time. If JVC wants to compete with GoPro, it could start by improving this application. The UI on the Addixxion is great. This app... not so much.

Can't playback videos I connect fine to this app from the camera but none of the videos can be saved or played back...only the pictures can be saved or played back. Tried on my Samsung galaxy s2 and a iphone 4s.

Works on selective Hp/tab models? I did the same set up AMD connection using Wifi to Mobile on my Samsung galaxy tab and Sony xperia Z, both running Android 4.2.2 But it works and connects properly with my galaxy tablet, but failed to connect with "No WiFi connection to camera" message aafter inputting password and loaded for a while.. Looks like it doesn't support some mobile hardware/software? Anyone with samendmemtfor.issue?

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS for Motorola Droid RAZR I admit, I was having fits like some of the other posters here that this app did not work. I tried EVERYTHING to get it to work on my Android, but nothing. The instructions on this sight suck and the downloaded instructions for my Android were even worse. Then I read the message(s) on the camera & it said to connect USB for PC password. I connected the camera to the PC and noticed that the camera set itself up as the CD Drive on my computer, that is where you will find the secret to making this work. Install WiVideo software from the Setup Icon that appears and you will be on your way. Be patient and let the software do it's thing. It took me about 20 minutes, but once the software was on my PC, I disconnected the USB cable, powered down the camera, my phone and my PC, rebooted all then launched the software on the PC. Configure the password on the PC to 0000 (same as what appears on the camera). Connect the camera via WIFI to the PC. Then shutdown everything and follow the steps to connect the camera to your phone. In my case an Android, which requires the Hotspot to be turned on PRIOR to launching WiVideo App. Launch the APP then follow the instructions to connect the camera

Samsung sg2 and xoom user I'd give this more stars if you could save the videos directly to your phone via the hotspots, otherwise good can save photos directly and view live footage although full hd is a little slow over wifi.

Not working Help!! Not able to get the pictures from my Medion camcorder, even though the camcorder is connected through the same Wifi Access point. Able to get the camcorder wi-id on the app, but not getting video/pics that is shot from the camcorder.
